Paving Driveway: Minimum Outside Temp's. ?
Bob wrote the following:
Hello,
Live outside of Boston,
For a typical home complete driveway re-do, can the hot asphalt be put
down in the Fall season O.K. ?
Or, should it be done only in the hot summer months.
Paving Contractor says they do it thru late Nov. !
Any minimum outside temp's involved for a "good" job" to be done ?
Thoughts on ?
Thanks,
Bob
Here's a thought. Call your local highway department and ask them the
latest time of year they do any paving.
Here in the NE, at least, asphalt companies shut down for the winter, so
you can assume it will be sometime before that date.
You're not going to get the kind of traffic in your driveway as the
roads get.
